2001 Graduation Speech - 634 words
2001 Graduation Speech Jessica McCoy When I think
about the class of 2001 I'm reminded of a story
that I'm sure we were all told when we were
younger; The Little Engine that Could. The little
engine struggles and struggles to get over that
one hill, and after working hard enough and never
giving up he finally makes it. That's how we are,
we've struggled for 13 years to get over this one
hill. We've worked long years starting with broken
crayons in kindergarten to inside-out sweatshirts
in middle school. 13 years of learning from the
simplest 2+2 to complicated algebra and calculus,
from reciting our ABC's to reading Shakespeare.
But now we've finally made it, and our real
journey is beginnin ...

A Separate Peace: The Internal Constant - 717 words
A Separate Peace: The Internal Constant While
everyone on this earth is physicly unique, all
share many internal emotions and internal
struggles with each other. Although outside they
are different than anyone else, inside there is
commonplace. In the book A Separate Peace, I
believe that one of the main characters, Gene,
resembles me as he grows up into this world. In A
Separate Peace, Gene had a great friendship with a
boy named Finny, whose friendship resembled that
of my friendship with my best friend, Mason.
Whenever I would go anywhere with Mason, I would
not know what to expect, but one thing I did know
was that it would be exciting. This was the same
for Gene and Finy; Gene would go ...

an old hotel called the Winnemucckah. So into the

Affirmative Action - 3,345 words
... Aguilar 1. Affirmative action should be
eliminated (Sadler 70). Affirmative action does
not solve discrimination problems; on the
contrary, it harms those the program is meant
help. The program divides society into two groups
based on ethnicity; this completely defies the
effort to have a color-blind America (where
society does not see ethnicity or a color
difference in any person). Disguised as an equal
opportunity program affirmative action
discriminates against non-minorities. Affirmative
action has its affects in collegiate admissions
and employment, however, remains more
controversial in college admissions. Many groups
protest the abolishment of affirmative action for
sake of higher ...

America The Unusuak And Wrong - 1,899 words
America The Unusuak And Wrong Different people
from all different walks of life founded America.
Many of these people came to America as now know
it, for many reason. One of these reasons being
that they felt their government was corrupt,
harsh, unfair or just to powerful in there every
day lives. So naturally when America created its
government, it was created in such a way, to
prevent tyranny, high taxation, and ensure
personal freedoms. Author John W. Kingdon feels
that the government the founders created is so
fragmented and our ideology of individualism and
anti-government (small government) is now causing
more harms then good. What do you think? Do you
feel that the U.S. Government is ...

Americas Youth And Todays Violence - 901 words
Americas Youth And Todays Violence Americas Youth
and Todays Violence The media believes every child
is capable of what happened at Columbine.
Therefore, when a person picks up a paper or turns
to his or her favorite news channel, all they
learn about is how schools are enforcing new rules
and regulations to control violence. People hear
about the media blaming everything as a part of
todays violence in schools. The media blames
different groups of people, as a part of todays
violence in the schools. The incident at Columbine
was a freak act of violence, and there are hardly
any children that would have anything to do with
violence of this nature. The media thinks there
may be someone to bla ...

Recital On April 4th, I made my way to the music
building to see Megan Miskill perform her Junior
Music recital. Her concert was shared with a
violin player, Trevor Corneliusen, but for this
paper, I will only discuss Megans performance. She
sang three sets of pieces: Schubert, Faure and
Mozart. Each set was contrasting, yet featured her
lyric soprano voice beautifully. Nick Williams was
her accompanist. The first section of her concert
was the Franz Schubert pieces. Schubert, a
romantic composer, wrote pieces that focus mainly
on nature, love, and unrequited passion. Megan

on a Tuesday night, walking through the brightly
lit halls, many doors wide open in a dormitory
complex on the campus of Bowling Green State
University, one can see that the only light that
emerges from the open doors is the constantly
changing illumination coming from television
consoles. Passing from door to door, sounds such

being slain, and moans of woman in ecstasy can be
heard. Although many students have the time to

Detroit, Michigan. Six years later in 1959, Ben's
parents divorced and he, his brother Curtis, and
his mother moved to Boston, Massachusetts. They
lived there for two years and moved back to
Detroit in 1961. Ben Carson wasn't always the
smart guy. In fact for a long time he did poorly
in school. It wasn't until after Ben failed his
eye test in fifth grade that his grades changed.
He had very poor eyesight, which was restricting
his learning. After Ben began to wear glasses, he
gradually began to do better in school. With his
mother's help he became the smartest boy in his
class. Even though Ben ...

Binge Crinking - 910 words
Binge Crinking From one generation to the next, we
have seemingly continued this ridiculous practice
of "binge drinking". Sure, let's all see who can
drink the most, who passes out first, and let's
not forget throwing-up? Yes, you haven't
experienced the true effects of binge drinking
until you've thrown-up all over yourself. But why,
why is it that today's generation feels that this
is fun? Risking your life to fit in isn't fun. Fun
is going to an amusement park or even a baseball
game. Unfortunately, college campuses across the
nation are preoccupied by this issue of alcohol
abuse. Binge drinking in the U.S. is out of
control and mostly a problem that our government
has produced. It is a b ...

Birth Control Education - 2,076 words
Birth Control Education Birth Control Education
The issue of birth control being taught and/or
distributed in public schools is one worth
debating. In biology and health classes students
are educated in reproduction and sexuality, but
not about such birth control methods such as
condoms and birth control pills. While parents may
touch briefly on the topic, some feel too
embarrassed to discuss it with their children or
deem it unnecessary. This is a very bad course of
action because the world is now teaming with
hormonally driven teenagers lacking vital
information about personal safety. They have a
longing to practice the oldest instinct that
humans possess, which is to procreate. The school ...

there is racism against not only blacks, but also

form. Therefore I do my best not to be racist in
any way. One of my earliest remembered experiences
that have affected me with this was a black
individual was in Kindergarten. During recess one
day I was playing with friends and then I was
called in for pushing a black girl into some mud,
which I had not done. After a couple of my friends
accounted for me during that recess period, the

Boundaries Of Ownership - 2,946 words
... Court decision in an earlier case. Blackmun,
treading carefully along a fine line between the
different kinds of rights accorded to different
kinds of owners, stresses that infringement of
copyright does not easily equate with theft,
conversion or fraud. . . . The infringer invades a
statutorily defined province guaranteed to the
copyright holder alone. But he does not assume
physical control over the copyright; nor does he
wholly deprive its owner of its use. While one may
colloquially liken infringement with some general
notion of wrongful appropriation, infringement
plainly implicates a more complex set of property
interests than does run-of-the-mill theft,
conversion or fraud. Howeve ...

Bulimia Nervosa - 1,974 words
... Bulimia Nervosa has begun to be recognized in
the last 30 years as a serious psychological
disorder, primarily affecting women. The essential
features are binge eating, which may or may not
co-occur with inappropriate means of weight gain
prevention. Bulimia, as well as eating disorders
in general are the result of biological
psychological and psychosocial factors. Urges to
overeat, gorge or purge may arise as a backlash to
dieting or fasting, but often as a dead-end coping
mechanism for many individuals whose lives
encompass stress, loneliness or inadequacy
(Arenson, 1989). Bulimia appears to affect
predominately women at any age from the teens into
middle age. White, middle-class adole ...
